Go vote! Thanks!

So... IGN still thinks we're a bunch of "entitled minority" jerks after their own poll proves otherwise?

My guess is that they'll just ignore the poll.  They aren't dumb enough to simply take it off, but they'll just quietly post the results in some obscure section of their site and never bother mentioning it in any significant manner.

I best IGN is going to regret putting up this poll, i guarantee they were hoping to use this to prove a point that the people complaining were in the minority.

They will blame it on the minority tipping the poll unfairly in favor of the results that go against what IGN desired.

It's all together disheartening that its other media outlets that are spurning us with negative, derisive, and sometimes offensive comments while so much of the Retake Mass Effect movement has been uplifting in its desire to take the 'high road'. I know I was immediately willing to join up when I saw the simple - and beautiful - idea of the Childs Play drive as a way to show that we're serious and conscientious.

And then I read articles like this:
http://www.inenterta...nges-the-rules/

With lines like this:
"There are so many ways to look at the end of Mass Effect 3 and some gamers who seem to have a deeper understanding of life believe that what Bioware done was a perfect way to end the journey of Shepard..."
Seriously? I'm a well educated 30-year-old mother of two young sons; wife of an active duty Marine. I dislike the ME3 ending. I believe it to be riddled with plot holes and weak literary devices. I believe it provides a deeper sense of confusion and disillusionment than it does any amount of 'pragmatic' realism or closure. And that means I do not have a "deeper understanding of life"?

It's articles like that which make me all the more determined to keep pointing out that what I want (and I think most of us want) is precisely what the current ending does not provide: A greater sense of continuity and in-game realism that stays true to the IP and universe it started five years ago. Not some cliche idea that 'life isn't fair' so we are only 'pragmatic' if we choose to swallow a nonsensical ending that leaves us feeling helpless and manipulated. Life isn't about fairness or the lack thereof, life is about what we as individuals and a community are willing to make of it. I for one still believe the ME writers are fully capable of delivering an ending - or additions/fixes to the current ending - that prove just how progressive, fulfilling and jointly enjoyable a true collaborative effort can be.

And yes... still holding the line.

I challenge any of those people to put that understanding succinctly and coherently into full sentences for me.  Apparently I'm just dumb like that.

Hold. The. Line!

Is the poll still visible on their facebook page? I tried looking for it but it looks like it's buried. Not a fan of timeline.

It has fallen of the first page.  You have to click the "See More Recent Stories" link to get to it from the from their main Facebook site.

I bet they will try to spin this as "SEE! Only 11k people thought the ending was bad! vocal minority!"

I hope it doesn't come to that, but if they do start posting that somewhere, we have screenshots of the numbers showing the comparisons to refute them.

[2484Stryker]

They'll probably try to imply that most of the fans didn't have a problem with the ending and simply didn't care enough to vote. After all, the game sold something like 890,000 copies on launch date.

Hold. The. Line.

No vote has increased by nearly 300, yes vote gained 7 votes.

Actually the CVG poll is 87% yes and 13% no.
But the question isn't did you like the ending?
But did Bioware blow it on the ending?
But it still supports the other polls dispute difference in wording.
